Bike seized in bid to tackle illegal vehicles

THIS is the latest bike seized by police as they continue their crackdown on the use of illegal vehicles.

Following several reports from neighbours officers attended a property in Eccleston where they found the bike.

It was seized as a suspected stolen vehicle after the numbers on the frame and engine were deliberately removed.

Councillor Richard McCauley, Cabinet Member for Community Safety said: “We hope that the seizure will have a positive impact on the quality of life for residents, who have been seriously affected by its use in the Eccleston area. It’s illegal to ride any motorbike, quad-bike or mini-moto in St Helens parks and open spaces. The police will seize them automatically."

Call police on the non-emergency number 101 to report the use of illegal vehicles.
